u/CryptoBull007 Clinches Coveted Title

While there remains little cause for celebration among the Bitcoin community in the ongoing 2018 bear market, growth in one sector of its economy is undeniable: the r/Bitcoin subreddit.

Confirming the landmark membership, moderator known as BashCo awarded a prize to the millionth person to subscribe to the subreddit. That person was the account known as u/CryptoBull007.

BashCo had set up a dedicated thread in preparation for the event, with the user already appearing to have claimed the prize.

I saw it was getting close yesterday, so I decided to make a reddit profile today for when we got close, u/CryptoBull007 had said, adding he had joined the platform after seeing an AMA session with Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson.

r/Bitcoin: 600K Users In 1 Year

Like many areas of Bitcoins user community, r/Bitcoin has had a chequered history, with even a rival subreddit r/BTC appearing later on to drive publicity for altcoin Bitcoin Cash.

Infighting among certain members continues, Bitcoin Cash proponent Roger Ver in June this year offering to donate $250,000 to charity if moderators stopped alleged censorship of certain content on r/Bitcoin.
